Where’s the outrage?

Your joking remarks about Donald Trump throwing his opposition into apoplexy in your Saturday editorial did as you intended. It threw this person into apoplexy. No, outrage.

Donald Trump is a result of a failure to educate in the humanities and history. His actions and remarks have evoked a sense of outrage among the

“elite” (those who pay attention to something other than Fox and utilize their critical thinking skills).

American deaths will soon eclipse 200,000. This tragedy is not “stuffed with such gorgeous humors” (Mencken from your editorial). Due to the concept of exponential growth, an earlier response to this pandemic when the current president was first made aware of the danger would have saved thousands of lives. Now we have a CDC official who has clear psychopathology directing our response for the next 100-plus days, which would bring even more deaths to our country. Where is your outrage?

Many have lost their lives or limbs in service to our country. Those who paid the ultimate sacrifice so we can enjoy our freedom are not suckers and losers as stated by the president. Those remarks are not “inordinate farce” (Mencken, from your editorial). Many are part of the greatest generation that freed the world of the ultimate Law ’n’ Order authoritarian, Hitler. Like John McCain, they served their country. Where is your outrage?

Tom Cotton for Supreme Court, whose only qualification is to reverse Roe v. Wade? Where is your outrage?

None of this is humorous. In 1957, the Arkansas Gazette ran prize-winning editorials because it was outraged at the injustice of segregation. While it cost it subscriptions, it served its community with a moral compass. Our community depends on you to help us understand the context of our politics. Where is your outrage? R.
